Participants will learn techniques used by ultralight backpackers and thru-hikers to reduce their pack weight. It combines lecture, gear demonstration, and an opportunity to ask questions. The clinic takes a systematic approach to assess gear, clothing, and food to fit the particular trip conditions and your personal goals. The emphasis will be on concepts and strategies rather than specific retail brands.
